Is this right??? Please help!!

12. The Opera is collecting monies in advance for ticket sales. The tickets cost $17.50 each.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The number of tickets they have sold in advance are summed up with the following equation and solution:

Equation: $\frac{6842.50}{17.50}$ [the final answer should be in dollars]

Solution: The Opera sold 391 tickets in advance.

Step-by-step explanation:

First: Review some background information:

Let's see what the problem gives us to answer it. I'll bold out the important parts:

The Opera is collecting monies in advance for ticket sales. The tickets cost $17.50 each. If they have collected $6842.50 already, then how many tickets have they sold in advance?

We know how much the tickets cost and how much money they have earned from selling tickets, we can find out how much tickets they have sold.

Second: Solve the problem:

We can solve this problem using many ways, but I'm just going to pick one. We will use proportions to answer this. Now thoughts might be going through your head like this: What is this guy saying? What in the world is proportions? Well hopefully you learn from this example (Please don't take offense if you <em>do</em> know how to do proportions).

First we set up two fractions. One ticket costs $17.50, so we will use it to set up our first fraction: $\frac{1}{17.50}$ . We don't know how many tickets all together cost $6842.50 so we will use the variable: x. Now, we can set up our second fraction. x tickets costs $6842.50 so our second fraction will be: $\frac{x}{6842.50}$ . Now we must use cross multiplication. We multiply the numerator of the first fraction times the denominator of the second fraction, and then we multiply the denominator o the first fraction times the numerator of the second fraction. That's what we would do usually. But now, since we have a variable, we must use cross multiplication to solve for this variable. So we multiply the the numerator of the first fraction times the denominator of the other fraction and then we divide that answer times the denominator of the first fraction (You don't have to set it up like this).So let's solve this question:

$\frac{1}{17.50}$ $\frac{x}{6842.50}$

1 x 17.50 = 17.50

6842.50 ÷ 17.50 = 391

So our equation is 6842.50 ÷ 17.50, and our solution is 391 tickets

If m ∠ A B F = ( 8 w − 6 ) ° m ∠ A B E = [ 2 ( w + 11 ) ] ° m ∠ E B F .

pashok25 [27]

The measure of angle EBF where he angle measures are given as m∠ABF = (8w − 6)° and m∠ABE = [2(w + 11)] is m∠EBF = 4w - 28

<h3>How to determine the measure of angle EBF?</h3>

The angle measures are given as

If m ∠ A B F = ( 8 w − 6 ) ° m ∠ A B E = [ 2 ( w + 11 ) ] ° m ∠ E B F

Rewrite the angle measures properly.

This is done, as follows

m∠ABF = (8w − 6)°

m∠ABE = [2(w + 11)]

The measure of angle m∠EBF is calculated as:

m∠ABF = m∠ABE + m∠EBF

Substitute the known values in the above equation

8w - 6 = 2(2w + 11) + m∠EBF

Open the brackets

8w - 6 = 4w + 22 + m∠EBF

Evaluate the like terms

m∠EBF = 4w - 28

Hence, the measure of angle EBF where he angle measures are given as m∠ABF = (8w − 6)° and m∠ABE = [2(w + 11)] is m∠EBF = 4w - 28

Find the area of the shaded region. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. 9 m 20 9 m area aboutm? pls explain how.

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is 17.4 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shaded region in the center equals the remainders of a circle, the area of a square equals its side squared, and the area of a circle equals π times the radius squared, for To determine the area of the shaded region, the following calculations should be performed:

(9 ^ 2) - (π x (9/2) ^ 2) = X

81 - (π x 4.5 ^ 2) = X

81 - (3.141 x 4.5 ^ 2) = X

81 - 3.141 x 20.25 = X

81 - 63.6 = X

17.4 = X

Thus, the area of the shaded region is 17.4 square meters.

A particular telephone number is used to receive both voice calls and fax messages. suppose that 20% of the incoming calls invol

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

0.1091 or 10.91%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a particular telephone number is used to receive both voice calls and fax messages. suppose that 20% of the incoming calls involve fax messages and consider a sample of 20 calls. We are asked to find the probability that exactly 6 of the calls involve a fax message.

We will use Bernoulli's trials to solve our given problem.

$P(X=x)=^nC_x\cdot P^x(1-P)^{n-x}$
